Acquiring Land for Airports and Relocation Assistance

Airports

Sometimes airports must acquire land for development projects or noise compatibility programs. Airports that receive Federal financial assistance, such as AIP grants, must follow certain rules when acquiring this property and helping private property owners relocate.

International Right of Way Association (IRWA)
The FAA Airports organization has an ongoing partnering agreement with IRWA to promote a learning environment for Airport land acquisition programs and staffs. The IRWA offers training courses and national conferences to provide state-of-the-art training and professional development opportunities to public real estate professionals.
